Supporting Neurodivergent Parents and Children

We’ve developed a gentle, inclusive programme designed to support neurodivergent parents of neurodivergent children.

Because neurodivergence is highly heritable (estimated to be around 88%), it’s common for neurodivergent adults to have neurodivergent children. Many parents discover their own neurodivergence later in life, often after recognising similar traits in their child.

This new initiative offers a three session programme for small groups of up to eight parents and carers. Each session provides space to explore:

• Wellbeing and self-care
• Practical tools for everyday life
• Understanding, validation and celebration of neurodivergent traits and strengths
• Building community and connection
  

• Improved self-esteem for both parents and children
• Better understanding and acceptance of individual challenges
• A stronger sense of community and belonging
• Celebration of neurodivergent strengths such as creativity, fairness, and empathy
• Enhanced parent child connection and attachment
• Reduced youth criminality and risky behaviours
• Fewer mental health crises and lower rates of addiction
• Improved overall wellbeing and life expectancy 
• Greater engagement in learning for children
